David Tiffany, 16, decided

to spruce up the American Legion Post House in Fayetteville to earn his

Eagle Scout Award.

With the help of as many as

15 other Boy Scouts from Troop 276 in Peachtree City, landscaping took

place by planting hedges all around the building, and a flag pole was

erected out front.

The American Legion building

was a W.P.A. project in 1936 and is the only project of its kind in Fayette

County.

John Dufresne serves as commander

of Post 105 and said that electrical, heating and air, and plumbing upgrades

are underway in the building.

"We were glad to have

David take care of the landscaping and erecting the flag pole," said

Dufresne. "We were happy to purchase the shrubbery, the city of Fayetteville

provided the trees and dug the holes, Andy's Nursery planted the trees

and Walker Concrete poured the base for the flag pole. We are very grateful

to everyone who helped in the project."

Both of David's grandfathers

served in World War II. Dufresne is an Army veteran who served in Vietnam.

Jerry Stoner, a veteran of the Army Air Corps in World War II, is the

project manager for the post and was in charge of overseeing the Scout

project.
